 * Reference 1:
 * This source included the bulk of the information used for my first draft entry. This source talked about the origin of wood carving among the Jah Hut as well as the process of this form of art. This source is authoritative because is appears to have valuable and credible information without being biased. There is also a reference list at the end with many resources. The source itself also has multiple authors from a professional standing.This source is where I found most of my information for my first draft entry. I used it to discuss the importance of Jah Hut art, the history of art within this group, as well as the process of wood carving.
 * Reference 2
 * This source discussed the importance of wooden sculptures and masks within the Jah Hut group. It also described the 2 basic types of wood used and discussed the purposes of the masks and sculptures. This source is authoritative because it comes from a museum that features Jah Hut art. The source also has new information, but also information that lines up with one of my other sources. This source was used to discuss the type of wood used to create wood carvings. I also used this source to talk about the spiritual and medicinal importance of wood carvings in Jah Hut culture.
 * Reference 3
 * This source also discusses why masks and sculptures were created. It also included information about how the Jah Hut sell some of their artwork, but they judge good artwork upon the idea that it goes above its monetary value, and is looked at based upon its creativity and the ingenuity involved in creating it. This source is authoritative because it recent (within the last 5 years), has information that aligned with one of my other sources, and is not a blog. Like the second source, I used this source to talk about the spiritual significance. I also used this source to describe how the Jah Hut do sell some of their carvings, but they mainly keep them for their rituals. Also, outside of monetary value, their carvings are judged upon the intricacy and dedication given to them.
